| The Orphic I: A Philosophical Approach to Musical Collaboration starts from the premise that music is a realm of intersubjective human experience. Drawing on ideas common to both hermeneutic and pragmatic aesthetics, it examines forms of collaboration involving those who create, perform, and listen to music. A new interpretation of the Orpheus myth suggests a model for thinking about creative interactions where composer and performer adopt each otherâ s perspectives. This imaginative transfer of selfâ the Orphic Iâ has significant implications, both for the listenerâ s perception of authenticity in musical performance, and for the interactions of performers within a musical ensemble. Empathy and entrainment emerge as seminal animating forces in group music-making, providing a non-verbal basis for ethical decision-making among group members. The originality of The Orphic I is due in part to its truly unique, first-person illustrations of the theoretical theses. But Deanâ s real innovation is in the specificity of his philosophical approach. His book is a clear example of the applicability of philosophical knowledge, of how ideas that too often remain solely in the realm of academic discourse can actually â workâ in the discussion of cultural phenomena. â Dr Pravda Spasova,Professor of Philosophy, National Art Academy, Sofia |
